Sheffield City Council is consulting on proposals to introduce new 20mph speed limits across a number of city roads.

Sheffield City Council has published proposals to introduce 20mph speed limits on a wide range of roads in the city as part of new traffic regulation orders.

The council is proposing to make the orders under Section 84 and Schedule 9 of the Road Traffic Regulation Act 1984.

One proposal would introduce a 20mph speed limit on parts of Heavygate Road, while a second, more wide-ranging order would apply a 20mph limit to all or parts of dozens of roads across the Crookes and Tapton areas.

Roads listed in the proposals include residential streets and key routes such as Crookes Road, Eyam Road, Hallamgate Road, Lydgate Lane, Netherfield Road, Tapton Mount Close, Truswell Road and Woodfield Road, among many others.

Full details of the proposed orders, including maps and the council’s reasons for the changes, are available to view online via the council’s consultation platform and traffic orders webpages.

The consultation runs from January 22 to February 19, 2026. Copies of the proposed orders and plans can also be examined during normal opening hours at First Point Reception, Howden House, Union Street, Sheffield.

Members of the public can submit supporting comments or objections, including the grounds for any objection, through the online consultation portal or in writing to the council. All responses must be received by February 19, 2026.

The notice was issued on January 22, 2026, by William Stewart, Director of Investment, Climate Change and Planning at Sheffield City Council.
